Color has always been very important to me. I've changed focus in the past year. I'm still spinning and weaving, but including other loves I have as well. I hope you enjoy the new and the old creative endeavors.
I am still selling supplies if you are interested on Ebay and Etsy.

New projects on the loom

I've had to bring looms inside near the fire, and I am weaving a lot! We haven't gotten my studio heated as yet (my engineer is working on it). 50 degrees sounds warm, until you try to work in it. Last spring Kathy, from Unique Design's by Kathy, and I traded some yarn. It's been a challenge to think of a way to use her coils and keeping the integrity of the yarn. I've been experimenting with "window scarves" and this is what I came up with. Sorry for the blurrrrrr.... It's fun the way it fulls after washing and fills in all the holes. I sort of like the holes!

About Me

I’ve Been Dyeing For long A Time Now
I found my first spinning wheel in a dusty, antique restoration shop. It was a lovely old walnut wheel treadle wheel. I’ve been hand spinning, weaving, felting and dyeing for over 30 years. I started Chamomile Connection in 2002 selling organic colorgrown cotton. I still love organic cotton, but we’ve expanded to include silk. My world of dyeing fiber exploded into color. My brown shelves of naturally colored organic cotton transformed into vibrant color everywhere. I see color differently because of my time as an artist and you can see this in how I dye fiber. My love of color stems from my work in watercolors.
I am beginning to paint again and also continue my love of silversmithing and other forms of metal work. And just wait until I get my potter’s wheel going!
Today, we are enjoying the peaceful life in Mimbres Valley, New Mexico (Mimbres means ‘behind the willows’). My shop/studio is open to the public, call before swinging by because we might be out hiking. At my shop you can buy yarn for knitting and weaving, fiber for spinning, handmade soap, jewelry, and other handmade items.
